I havent tried this yet but wouldn't it be possible to do a 6 pool all in vs Protoss and use the drones to break a pylon wall in?

Hm yeah! Or even depots (if the Terran's to slow in reaction). Imba Imba!

I wouldn't act too hastly about the depots, they might patch this sooner or later.

Obviously you break the wall before those are completed

I'm at work so I can't test. Would it be possible to have a few drones left to attack regularly so you get some sustained damage in case you mess up the clicking sometimes and at the same time use the trick with the rest of the drones? Not sure if it would be worth it even if it did work but something to think about.

I just tried it against my friend and he couldn't break it on xel'naga. We're trying it again to see. Obviously it works from the videos posted but I think there might be a few exceptions and still seems to work well against 15h.

I think I'm going to switch back to zerg. This is probably the biggest find in Sc2 so far. :D

Agreed.

I wish I could replay all the games where I got walled in now.

Awesome. Probably help vs bunker rushes too on maps like abyssal.

Seems like the ghost of the Drone Drill still haunt the halls of SC2.

I wonder if this could be used offensively, possibly in some sort of Ling+Drone all-in kind of situation against walls.

wouldn't pull all your drones for the 5-7 seconds it takes to bust the wall make the entire strategy effective for the terran/protoss anyway?

Maybe you could use this to drone all-in and bust the walls of your opponent's base.

This should fix that bullshit cannon rush behind the minerals on xelnaga. Also, this is the counter to hotbids boss cannon rush.

i tested 6pool on xel naga w/ drones vs protoss wall..doesnt work. when you click their mineral patch they go away from the wall ..cant use this to rush. i imagine it's like that with every map as well since there's no ramp that's right next to main minerals
